      You do realize that X is now it’s official name right? Elon changed the name to X and deprecated the twitter name. At the end of the domain registration, he is not going to re-register twitter.com as the domain name, and because he owns the trademark on it, he is going to sue anyone who tries to re-use the domain name.

          I dropped it when trump was spewing his bs on it. My feed was 90% Trump bs and re-posts. I actively dumped fb, twitter and a few others back in 2019 and My life has been so much better since then.

        I genuinely could not care less.

        I’m going to keep deadnaming his company for as long as Elon keeps deadnaming his daughter.

    Given Elon is a transphobic POS, I’ll gladly remain deadnaming his shitty website
